Bachelor of Science - Radiation Sciences

Radiation sciences professionals work with a team of health professionals to gather accurate patient information for diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury. Technologists operate x-ray, CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), radiation therapy, ultrasound, and similar equipment essential in a hospital or health care setting.

Technologists must possess knowledge, skill, and mature judgment to operate complex equipment safely and efficiently. They produce quality images using multiple sources of radiation and they deliver quality patient care during diagnosis and treatment procedures.

Pursuing this degree as an undergraduate at Iowa allows students to complete the mandatory competencies and courses that allow them to apply to take the national board exams required to practice professionally.
